Midnight. Moscow. A heavy snowstorm blankets the city. The Kremlin's lights glow faintly against the fog. In multiple intelligence rooms, FSB, SVR, and GRU analysts monitor refinery networks, satellite feeds, and banking flows.
Scene 1 — Yug Arrives
Yug Bhati steps off a private jet at Vnukovo Airport. His green coat flutters over black slacks. Black bracelet on his wrist glints under the runway lights. He carries no briefcase — only the weight of contracts that can drain nations.
Inside a discreet conference room at a Moscow five-star, Yug lays out "reform proposals" for the refinery boards. Every line, every graph, every clause is a trap and a gateway. He speaks softly, academically — Ivy League cadence, precise diction — masking the predator beneath.
"This will secure liquidity, modernize your operations, and guarantee exports reach markets without disruption," he says, sipping black coffee.
Biard members nod. They do not see the 15% profit siphon hidden inside performance clauses.
Scene 2 — Russian Intelligence Watches
In parallel, FSB and SVR rooms buzz. Analysts scan anomalies: phantom freighters, off-ledger payments, shell-company traffic. GRU signals show unusual scheduling at refinery ports.
Analyst #1 (FSB):
"These movements… it's coordinated, precise… like they know our algorithms before we do."
Analyst #2 (SVR):
"All legal on paper. Signed by directors. Contracts are airtight. They are taking profit, not refineries."
Analyst #3 (GRU):
"Every enforcement channel is compromised. If we intervene, the political fallout alone could collapse the ministry. And the oligarchs involved… untouchable."
The room falls silent. The cameras show freighters moving along the Neva River — invisible profit streams.
Scene 3 — The Extraction
Yug does not touch ownership. He owns contracts, permissions, dispatch rights, and profit allocation.
Shipments flow to international buyers pre-approved in Aureon shell accounts.
Export lanes are "managed" by front companies.
Profit flows into Yug's global escrow network.
In a single fiscal year, $60B disappears into Aureon accounts — 15% of Russian refinery profits. GDP impact? 3.75%. Russia feels the drain immediately, but no direct asset is seized.
"Ownership is for amateurs," Yug mutters under his breath, glancing at the snow outside. "Control is all that matters."
Scene 4 — Intelligence Impotence
FSB reports: Yug Bhati is orchestrating Volchek-20 operations from Moscow itself. SVR intercepts show encrypted emails confirming export allocations. GRU drones trace freighters, but the vessels are legally owned elsewhere.
Any attempt to seize contracts would reveal internal corruption.
Any attempt to freeze accounts could trigger international lawsuits and sanctions.
The state cannot touch him.
Yug knows this. He leans back in the meeting room chair, black bracelet catching the dim light, and smiles faintly. Russia sees him, calculates him, but cannot stop him.
"The tiger doesn't need to roar," he whispers. "He simply walks through the jungle."
Scene 5 — The Aftermath
By dawn:
The Kremlin files its reports quietly; ministers murmur, analysts fume.
Aureon Logistics freighters sail into Baltic ports with profit flowing offshore.
Yug is gone — left only with signatures, permission letters, and the quiet knowledge that he now controls 15% of Russia's refinery profits without touching a refinery wall.
FSB, SVR, and GRU have full awareness but no legal, financial, or operational leverage to intervene.
